    I think the Golden Pass Panoramic is only Wengen via Zweissman to Montreux (?). I think I read that reservations for July are a good idea for that leg of the journey. I went today and saw 42 seats and the entire car available. Should I reserve or is it not necessary?

    Thank You!

    The Golden Pass Line (http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass) for you will start at Interlaken Ost not Wengen.

    The Zweisimmen to Montreux leg on the MOB Panoramic or Bell Époque trains is the only section on which reservations are recommended. You can make reservations including seat selection at bit.ly/2kaq6Rf. Just change the class of travel, date of travel and start/end points to suit. And click the “e” for English language top right of the page. (where it says “Sprachwahl: d i f e”).

    Yes if you want to travel on a MOB Panoramic or MOD Belle Epoque train. There are regular regional trains that ply the same route but don’t have panoramic windows. Some people would say it doesn’t matter all that much. Personal preference I guess.

    It seems the Golden Pass Belle Ep. train (Panoramic?) Should be running Aug 1st depart Wengen 833 and then get the train in interlocken ost for 13:03 montreux arrival, but on SBB it doesn’t say/show Panoramic. Just regular notation?

    The 13:03 arrivl in Montreux SHOULD theoretically be a Belle Epoque from Zweisimmen at 11:05. But it’s not clear exactly when the Belle Epoques will be back in service following renovations See this thread see http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/belle-epoque-goldenpass-confusion.

    I emailed the rail company and they confirmed Belle Epoque from Zweissman to montreux 13:03, not sure why not showing on SBB.
